《Infinity || Dan Smith》Sixty-Seven.
Advertisement
After putting Lacey in her temporary cot both Dan and Charlie kept their word and tried for a baby. Of course it's a trail and error process, but Dan and Charlie feel good about it. Roughly an hour later Dan then got a call from Beau, who finally arrived at the hotel. His house is basically on the other end of Los Angeles, so that explains the long car journey to the hotel as well as the continuous traffic jams.
So for the past two hours they've been discussing Bastille's third album 'Doom Days'. Charlie on the other hand is forced to listen, considering it's now far too late for either Dan and Beau to be walking around LA at night. It's not the nicest of all places in the world, unlike what the movies tell be. But it isn't quite GTA standard...yet.
"How many songs is going to be on the album then? Because the ones that you have finished...we really like." Dan shrugs.
"Our original intention was nine, but I'm not so sure now." Beau nods his head while Dan bullshits around the answer, mainly because he doesn't know yet.
Charlie on the other hand sits on the sofa. She's pretending to read a gossip magazine when really she's listening in on their conversation, although she's pretty bored. So in a matter of seconds Charlie takes her wig off and begins to brush it with her fingers. Her hair is slowly starting to come through. It's like she has the world's shortest buzz cut, but Charlie is taking several hair vitamins. She's hoping to have her hair back by the end of the year, and so far it's definitely looking that way.
Thankfully, Charlie is saved from boredom as an unexpected guest knocks on their door. Neither Dan or Beau get up, or stop talking for that matter, so Charlie takes the liberty to stand up after putting her wig back on.
"Don't worry about me answering the door at midnight..." Charlie mumbles under her breath, but she opens it anyway.

There standing opposite Charlie is both Dakota and Aubrey, holding what look like film contracts out towards her. "Be in my film!" Dakota immediately shouts, looking rather flustered.
Their loudness makes Dan and Beau stop talking and curiously look towards door.
"No, Charlotte, remember I've always got your back. This script is made for you!" Aubrey says with a false smile.
Charlotte doesn't say anything, she's completely overcome with shock. However, Charlies saved by the screams of her daughter who's in the other room but disturbed by all of the loud noise.
She doesn't say anything. Instead she leaves the door wide open while walking off into the bedroom to take care of Lacey.
Beau then confusedly points at Aubrey and Dakota but Dan shakes his head. "Dan!" Dakota almost shouts while she walks into the room after comically trying shut the door on her wife.
Beau, is in the same state of shock as Charlie, although Dan somehow remains calm and collective despite two psychopathic women waving paper in his face. "Be in my film! The script is art and your acting is out of this world!" Dakota loudly compliments while Aubrey laughs in disgust.
"I haven't wrote you in my script yet...but you know how fun it is to be on my set! Be in my film!" Beau then points at the contracts while Dan does nothing but laugh...whilst looking sort of terrified as well as weirded out. Just a little over an three hours ago he was in bed with Charlie thinking about their future...
Now those plans are completely disrupted.
"I'm Bastille's manager, and I'm afraid to say that he already has a contractual agreement to finish Bastille's album." Both Dakota and Aubrey rolls their eyes back, as well as Dan who is very aware of the legal process behind these things.
"You can have multiple contracts going on within the industries. Hopefully your album would've been finished by the time we start filming." Dakota reassures Beau.
"Didn't you literally just offer Charlie the same role though?" Dan points to the front door, although Aubrey closed it behind her after Dakota nearly locked her out. It turns out that Charlie is not the only childish one.

Both Aubrey and Dakota shake their heads. "We have both written scripts specifically for you. All the characters traits and their personalities. Even wardrobe sense..." Aubrey explains while Dan leans back on his chair and nods his head.
"But the thing is Dakota is a very greedy woman and wants both of you in her film." Dakota's eyes widen in horror that her wife has just called her out for something that she isn't.
"You have to make your minds up which film you want to be in, whether you brave it without Charlie or stay with her...but leave me." Dan rubs his head before shrugging.
"Can we do this another time? It's just that we've got to be up early in the morning for the press junket..."
Both Aubrey and Dakota don't listen to Dan's excuse, as for the fact that Dan's clearly having a full on meeting with Beau. They know that the couple are jet lagged and probably can't sleep.
"We need to know whether you're in or out."
With that Charlie, who is now cradling Lacey, walks into the room to overhear what Dakota has got to say about her film. None of them notice her though.
"Which one of you wrote the script with me in mind?" Dan cannot believe that he's saying those words as he is in complete shock that someone wants him to to another film. Not just any old 'someone' either...two well known directors.
He's truly besides himself.
"I did." Dakota smiles while Dan nods his head, although he wants to know the plot before he can decide. Admittedly he doesn't think about Charlie at all.
"What's the premise?" He asks while Aubrey sighs, knowing that she has already lost one potential cast member for her new film.
"It's about this thirty something year old guy who is a son of a wealthy couple. They own a company much larger than Apple. Everyone suspects him to be perfect, but he isn't." Dan nods his head, although those films bore him to death.
"He then realises that his parents are going to leak people's information...and he tries to murder them." Dan nods his head while Charlie then makes her grand reappearance into the conversation that she's been ghosting for the past few minutes. Although she's heard quite enough on Dan's behalf.
However, she doesn't seem to care about the plot of the films. She wants to get down to business side. "Who is going to give me the biggest cheque?" Dakota's jaw widens in shock of the front by Charlie, but Aubrey smiles. She's glad that Charlie isn't lowering her standards for anyone.
"I need to provide for my family..." Is Charlie's excuse while everyone in the room grins apart from Dakota, who can't afford to pay both Dan and Charlie.
"The budget of the film is under two hundred million...you know that I'm very generous when it comes to you." Aubrey smiles while Charlie looks Dan up and down in...disgust.
He's clearly forgotten about their plan to expand their family. Charlie's hurt that Dan hasn't denied the women's offers. So, being Dan's rival doesn't exactly sound so unappealing to Charlie like she would've thought.
"It's set in the seventies, although the music will be up to date, it's a rape revenge story but with a twist. You'll be playing the teenage girl with a foul mouth and a unquenchable thirst for blood. It's a fresh twist on the genre." Charlie nods her head with a smirk while Dan looks slightly mortified that she won't be joining in on Dakota's film.
"Sounds perfect." Charlie says with a smile while she kisses Lacey on her forehead.

Tales of the Old World Demon Lord
1984 had indeed come, however it was 100 years late. In 2084 a man named [Sovereign] had taken control of the entire globe and the destiny of Humanity itself was in his hands. Many called him evil, perhaps he was, but Sovereign believed that he was cultivating the future of humanity; he knew that if Humanity continued on its current trajectory it would not last. However his plans came to an abrupt end when he was tragically murdered by his closest confidante. For a time after that the world finally found peace as their evil overlord had been overthrown but as Sovereign had predicted the world indeed came to an end. Humanity had returned to its old ways, they reconstructed borders, created separations known as 'countries' and in the end without unification and a single future, war had once again engulfed the world. Slowly as it choked on its own ineptitude the humans killed themselves off as their resources depleted and the planet was made uninhabitable. However this was not the end of the story for Sovereign, but a new beginning. Born again in a world of swords and sorcery he quietly evaluates the mettle of these new humans. Should they not come to meet his standards then 'Sovereign' would also be reborn. "To the primitive fools who believe magic reigns supreme, allow me to demonstrate the might of the old world technology."Arc 1: Kenesis Enhancement Project/SovereignArc 2: Human Immortalization Project/Nemesis Arc 3: The Skyfall Project/Gungnir

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.
